Strategic Shift Away From Dunkin'
Jubilant FoodWorks ka ye ek bada strategic move hai. Dunkin' brand se company ki total sales ka sirf 0.6% aa raha tha, aur ye ek loss-making business tha. Ab company apna paisa aur energy un brands par lagaayegi jahan se asli faida ho raha hai. Waise bhi, Jubilant ka stock price gir raha tha kyunki company bade levels par stores khol rahi thi, costs badh rahi thi aur competition bhi kaafi zyada tha.
Dunkin' India Fails to Gain Traction
India mein Dunkin' Donuts ko woh traction nahi mila jo expected tha. Local logon ko donuts se zyada garam, savory breakfast items pasand aate hain. Aur Dunkin' ka price bhi sabke liye affordable nahi tha. Is wajah se, stores ki sankhya 32 se kam hokar sirf 27 reh gayi.
Doubling Down on Domino's and Popeyes
Domino's toh Jubilant ka superstar hai hi. India mein 2,400 se zyada stores hain aur franchise agreement 15 saal ke liye extend bhi ho gaya hai. Popeyes ko bhi tezi se badha rahe hain, target 250 stores ka hai. Dunkin' se nikal kar ye company in zabardast brands par full focus karegi, jaisa investors bhi chahte the.
Domestic Operations Face Margin Pressure
Ab Popeyes ke liye itni tezi se expansion, plus mahangi food prices aur badhte operating expenses se profit margins par pressure aa raha hai. December 2025 quarter mein revenue 11.8% badhkar ₹1,800 crore ho gaya, lekin comparable store sales growth sirf 5% raha. Company zyada tar cost increase customers par pass on nahi kar pa rahi hai kyunki logon ki kharch karne ki capacity kam hai. Par management ka kehna hai ki future mein margins improve honge.
International Business Stabilizes
Turkey aur dusri countries mein DP Eurasia ki operations ab sambhal rahi hain. Wahan currency issues the, lekin ab internal cash se debt cover ho jayega. Debt ko Euros mein refinance karne se financing expenses 59% kam ho gaye. DP Eurasia ne December 2025 quarter mein 15% revenue growth aur 6.2% profit margin dikhaya, jo ek achhi baat hai.
Future Outlook and Valuation
Aage chal kar company ka target hai sales 15-16% annually grow ho aur comparable store sales 5-7% badhe. 1,000 naye stores kholne ka plan hai. Jubilant FoodWorks ka P/E ratio abhi 89 hai, jo historical average 132 se kam hai. Stock valuation tabhi badhega jab company clear operational improvements dikhayegi aur ye strategic shift successful hoga.
